    Are there car ferries where you are allowed to stay inside the car? O.o

      We have a few here for really short trips. They’re basically river crossings

      Yes. I’ve sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.

      Yep, in Australia we have a fair few Punts (aka cable ferries) for river crossings in a car, like the Putney Punt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortlake_Ferry) that crosses the Parramatta River.

      Yes, it’s mostly the ones where the trip is very short, like under an hour. Also the ones where the car deck is open.
